P2P File Sharing



File Sharing is method of sharing transmitting files from one system or computer to another persons system or computer. As stated in an article by the NMA staff on econsultancy.com, Content producers should take advantage of P2P, not fear it, P2P it can bring big audiences or bigger audiences. File sharing is something people fear and this article states we shouldn't fear it as it can be a huge plus to new media and drawing an audience. The trouble with this is that is temporarily beneficial. It attracts an audience rapidly but eventually dies out. P2P file sharing is exactly what this article describes. P2P file sharing allows users to share books online, movies and games. Many see this as sharing and not dangerous.. On npr.org, there is an article by Wendy Kaufman called Peers find less pressure borrowing from each other, describing this method of sharing important data and beneficial data. I have never heard of P2P and can see why some companies or industries are not fond of it. Some examples of p2p sharing are BitTorrentt in which is very popular and Tribler.
